Here is the OOC/Sign up topic link: detective-comics-animated-roleplay-ooc-need-people-t27870.htmlHere is the first post... my first actual 'roleplay' post in a forum. I will get better, I promise. xDShayera punched in a landing code and peered out the Javelin's window as the thick doors leading to the Watchtower's landing bay slowly parted, allowing the sleek jet to slip through and hover, guided by her deft hands and the waving bars of the landing crew below. She reached forward and pulled a horizontal bar down that would release and lock the jet's wheels, slowly guiding the Javelin down to a quick, neat landing.
There was a series of clicks as Shayera and her team mates, Booster Gold and Plastic Man, unbuckled their seat belts and stood up, swerving around the seats and heading for the doors that would lead them out of the jet. Shayera subtly stretched her long gray wings, mindful of the cramped interior around her, and pressed a button beside the doors that caused them to open with a hiss, revealing bright light that swallowed the dimness of the Javelin's interior and caused her to squint her green eyes.
"I'd say that was a successful mission," Plastic Man said cheerfully as the three exited the Javelin and walked across the landing bay. "Though those laser blasters they had were nasty."
J'onn had sent Shayera, Booster Gold, and Plastic Man to respond to a call for help from the defenseless population of a backwater planet that were being attacked by sentient nanorobotic life forms from a galaxy over. The mission was a piece of cake compared to the many battles Hawkgirl had faced as one of the founding members of the Justice League. For all their sentience and high technology, the life forms had failed to protect themselves from water and electrical blasts.
"Yeah, but they were no match for our wits... and Shayera's mace," Booster Gold added the last part almost as an afterthought.
Shayera gave him a sharp look, then tilted her head slightly and smiled. "You did okay, too." Men.
After the three parted ways, Shayera headed for the cafeteria for a drink and a quick look at what Justice League members were present in the Watchtower at the moment. Black Canary and Green Arrow were at one table, another occupied by Gypsy, Zatanna, and Vigilante, and the rest were empty, although there were people walking around and heading for the lunch bar. There was no sign of Green Lantern anywhere... though she told herself to stop looking for him while he was dating Vixen. She'd been avoiding having any sort of conversation with him beyond a companionable "Hi, how are you?"... not that she had given up on him. She was giving him his space after what she'd done during the Thanagarian invasion.
It always boiled down to that. The Thanagarian invasion. Now events were remembered as "before" and "after" the Thanagarian invasion for her... probably for them, too. She was determined to put it behind her... she'd betrayed the Justice League for their own good, or so she had thought. The fact that the Thanagarians had intended to destroy the Earth to get to the Gordanians hadn't softened the blow one bit, even if she hadn't known about it.
Turning her thoughts away from that particularly nasty week, Shayera grabbed a glass and filled it with ice and orange soda, splitting away from the lunch line and heading for an abandoned table.
